I Had a Dream
♫ Kelly Clarkson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you wanna dream, be a dreamer
Climb to the top of that mountain and scream it
But remember when you get to the top
Everything you say is gonna matter
Everything you do is gonna add up
It's what you asked for, so
Don't get mad when it's not what you thought
Crown on your head, but you're queen of cliches
Little one playin' with the big boys now
Hope you're ready when it comes back around
I had a dream that we were born
A generation to behold
Writing fires with our words
Instead of useless smoke that blurs
The lines are writing oh
Expression that they're told
An army with a sword
That lingers when we're gone
I had a dream
If you wanna preach be a preacher
If you wanna teach be a teacher
Remember that the footprints you're leaving, will
Tell us all who you really are
It's too bad you can't see what you're worth
Spreadin' your legs 'stead of usin' your words
Character is shown by the things that we do
The one thing you're never gonna hide is the truth
'Cause anyone can tell when you're sellin' out
And anyone can fly when they're fallin' down
I had a dream that we were born
A generation to behold
Writing fires with our words
Instead of useless smoke that blurs
The lines are writing oh
Expression that they're told
An army with a sword
That lingers when we're gone
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream that we were born (I had a dream that we were born)
A generation to behold (to behold)
Writing fires with our words (writing fires with our words)
Instead of useless smoke that blurs
The lines are writing oh
Expression that they're told (they're told)
An army with a sword
That lingers when we're gone (when we're gone)
I had a dream (I had a dream)
I had a dream
I had a dream

[Intro]
Nobody sees, nobody knows
We are a secret, can't be exposed
That's how it is, that's how it goes
Far from the others
Close to each other
[Verse 1]
In the daylight, in the daylight
When the sun is shinin'
On a late night, on a late night
When the moon is blindin'
In plain sight, plain sight
Like stars in hidin'
You and I burn on, on
[Pre-Chorus]
Put two and together, forever
We'll never change
Two and together
We'll never change
[Chorus]
Nobody sees, nobody knows
We are a secret, can't be exposed
That's how it is, that's how it goes
Far from the others, close to each other
That's when we uncover-cover-cover
That's when we uncover-cover-cover
[Verse 2]
My asylum, my asylum
Is in your arms
When the world gives heavy burdens
I can bear a thousand tons
On your shoulder, on your shoulder
I can reach an endless sky
Feels like paradise
[Pre-Chorus]
Put two and together, forever
We'll never change
Two and together
We'll never change
[Chorus]
Nobody sees, nobody knows
We are a secret, can't be exposed
That's how it is, that's how it goes
Far from the others, close to each other
That's when we uncover-cover-cover
That's when we uncover-cover-cover
[Bridge]
We could build a universe right here
All the world could disappear
Wouldn't notice, wouldn't care
We could build a universe right here
The world could disappear
Yeah, I just need you near
[Chorus]
Nobody sees, nobody knows
We are a secret, can't be exposed
That's how it is, that's how it goes
Far from the others, close to each other
That's when we uncover-cover-cover
That's when we uncover-cover-cover
That's when we uncover

On the late night, on the late night,
When the moon is blinding.
In the plain sight, plain sight,

Two and together we'll never change
Nobody sees, nobody knows
